Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Deficiency Disease The aim of this book is to present the reader with a consecutive account of the results of recent experimental researches into the nature of Deficiency Diseases, and to point out the application of these results to their prevention. The subject is one which, as I shall hope to show, concerns both the administrator and the practitioner of medicine. My own investigations, on which this book is mainly based, were originally undertaken in 1914, at a time when I was engaged in a study of the thyroid gland and its disorders. My object then was to ascertain the effects of deficient food on this organ. These studies were interrupted at the outbreak of war, and it was not until my return to India from active service, early in 1918, that I was able to resume them. The scope of the inquiry was then extended to include an investigation of the effects of deficient and ill-balanced foods on all other organs of the body. It was hoped that, in the course of such an inquiry, facts might emerge which would not only explain some of the manifestations of deficiency disease, but throw light also on problems relating to the place of the endocrine glands in the human economy. The methods of study adopted were experimental, gravimetric, and histo-pathological; the last being held to be of especial importance. For however necessary a knowledge of the normal structure and function of the organs of the body may be, it is not less necessary to possess a knowledge of the structural and functional changes induced in them by so fundamental a factor as faulty food. I have thus approached the study of Deficiency Disease from an aspect differing somewhat from that of other students of this subject whose object, as a rule, has been the induction in animals, by means of specially-devised food mixtures, of such maladies as scurvy, beri-beri, rickets, and pellagra. My own method, on the other hand, has been to observe the more general symptomatic and pathological effects of faulty food on the animal body as a whole, and thereby to ascertain what forms of human illness might reasonably be attributed to it. In this way I have been brought to the conclusion that much of the gastro-intestinal disorder so common at the present day, and much of the endocrine disorder probably almost equally common, though less readily recognizable, are attributable to deficient and ill-balanced food.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies on a Nutritional Disease of Poultry Caused by Vitamin a Deficiency Flock No. 2 - Contained 7 84 pullets, about 4 months old. Fifty nine or per cent were diseased. No greens had been fed for a month. About one hundred had died during this period. Greens were fed liberally and the ock entirely recovered in thirty days with a mortality of but nineteen additional birds. Flock No. 3 - Consisted of 1336 hens, 15 months old, 239, or per cent of which had characteristic lesions. These birds had free access to growing corn a short distance from their house, but few of them were getting it. About one hundred and fifty had died within six weeks. Greens were fed to the ock in the yards and within two weeks the number of diseased was reduced to forty. The additional loss from death was but eighteen fowls.

Download or read book Thiamine Deficiency Disease Dysautonomia and High Calorie Malnutrition written by Derrick Lonsdale and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition explores thiamine and how its deficiency affects the functions of the brainstem and autonomic nervous system by way of metabolic changes at the level of the mitochondria. Thiamine deficiency derails mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and gives rise to the classic disease of beriberi that, in its early stages, can be considered the prototype for a set of disorders that we now recognize as dysautonomia. This book represents the life’s work of the senior author, Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, and a recent collaboration with his co-author Dr. Chandler Marrs. Presents clinical experience and animal research that have answered questions about thiamine chemistry Demonstrates that the consumption of empty calories can result in clinical effects that lead to misdiagnosis Addresses the biochemical changes induced by vitamin deficiency, particularly that of thiamine

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scurvy: Past and Present Interest in scurvy has been stimulated in the last few years as the result of a new and broader conception of nutrition. It has come to be realized that in addition to the substances heretofore recognized as of essential importance in the dietary - the proteins, fats, carbohydrates and the salts - there is still another group, termed "vitamines," "accessory food factors" or "food hormones," which must be included in order to render the diet complete and adequate. It has become increasingly evident that the attention of physiologists and of clinicians has been focussed too sharply and too narrowly on the caloric value of foodstuffs. At the same time we have begun to appreciate the existence of a group of nutritional disorders which depend largely on a deficiency of these illusive vitamines or food factors, and which evidently are of vital importance to the welfare of the individual and of mankind. Scurvy is one of this newly-constituted group, and due to this association has acquired a fresh and broader significance. It is in this light that the intensive research work must be interpreted, which has been applied within the past few years, both in this country and abroad, to problems relating to this disorder. It is clear that the subject is in its infancy, and is destined to participate in a consideration of many of the nutritional and infectious diseases of the adult and the child. The World War has tended also to demand a renewed consideration of scurvy. This disorder has played a role in all wars - in the campaigns of the Caesars, the pilgrimages of the Crusaders, and the numerous wars of the last century.
